ISO 37549 Hormone Residue Profiling in Baby Formula

ISO 37549 Hormone Residue Profiling in Baby Formula

The ISO 37549 standard mandates comprehensive hormone residue profiling to ensure that baby formula is free from prohibited or dangerous levels of hormones. This service ensures compliance with international standards and regulatory requirements, safeguarding infants' health by eliminating the risk of exposure to harmful substances.

Baby formula plays a crucial role in infant nutrition during the critical early stages of life. Ensuring that the product does not contain any prohibited hormones is paramount for consumer safety and brand reputation. The testing process involves intricate steps to accurately identify and quantify hormone residues, ensuring that they do not exceed permissible limits as defined by ISO 37549.

The methodology employed in this service includes sample preparation, extraction techniques, chromatographic analysis using advanced mass spectrometry for precise quantification. This ensures accurate and reliable results, which are essential for meeting regulatory requirements and maintaining brand integrity.

Our team of experts uses state-of-the-art instrumentation to provide accurate measurements that comply with ISO 37549 guidelines. We employ a multi-step approach that includes:

  1. Sample collection from various sources.
  2. Extraction and purification techniques.
  3. Chromatographic separation followed by mass spectrometric detection.

This process ensures the accurate identification of hormone residues, providing precise quantification necessary for regulatory compliance. The service also includes detailed reporting and certification to ensure that clients have all the necessary documentation to meet their regulatory obligations.

The importance of this testing cannot be overstated. Hormone residue in baby formula can pose significant health risks if not controlled properly.
